Keanu Reeves’ ascension to pop culture sainthood hasn’t always been the smoothest journey; the Bill & Ted star spent more than a decade enduring various “Whoa”-quoting mockeries before the world finally started climbing on to his cheerfully taciturn vibe. But now the faithful have been rewarded, with news arriving…

Crisis On Infinite Earths has been a lot of fun so far—and very eventful! It’s kind of amazing that with all the plot they’re churning through, the writers of the Arrowverse have managed to make room for—and, for the most part, to justify—a seemingly endless stream of cameos from DC players past and present. In three…

Quibi, the forthcoming short-form streaming service with the dumb-yet-catchy moniker, hasn’t put on a flamboyant presentation like its Disney+ or Apple TV+ competitors (yet), but that hasn’t stopped the billion dollar-infused platform from announcing an assemblage of star-studded future programming. Headed by…

If you like revenge, bright costuming, social relevance, strings-only covers of great pop songs, or Alison Brie/Bo Burnham/Max Greenfield/Adam Brody/Molly Shannon/Connie Britton, do Emerald Fennell and Carey Mulligan have a trailer for you.

The Last Jedi is still a weird point of contention within certain, louder pockets of the Star Wars fandom. The debate regarding whether or not the penultimate film is a worthy installment is still a rather lively one and honestly, the existence of the discourse alone is not that big of a deal. The differing opinions…

Just last week, HBO premiered a fairly underwhelming first teaser for Curb Your Enthusiasm’s 10th season. Thankfully, the network has gifted us with a full trailer for the highly-anticipated new season, and within that trailer even more gifts for fans of Larry David’s neurotic alter ego—including an appearance from…

Previously available only as an extra on the season seven DVD, Michael Scott’s full 25-minute version of Threat Level Midnight is now available via The Office’s YouTube channel. The action-thriller penned by Steve Carrell’s Scott was first introduced during the show’s second season, but the story of secret agent…

Last night the first chunk of The CW’s Crisis On Infinite Earths wrapped up, leaving all 927 of its superheroes in a hell of a bind. (We won’t say what that bind is exactly, though you could venture on over to Scott Von Doviak’s recap if you really want to know.) But if you’re concerned that any potential Crisis…

It’s been a very good year for Alex Ross Perry, who broke through into indie mainstream with Her Smell, an anxiety-inducing psycho-drama starring Elisabeth Moss as the troubled leader of an all-girl rock band. Back in April, we learned that Perry’s next project would be an adaptation of the Stephen King short story Res…

It’s only a few weeks away, but somehow 2020 still feels like science fiction. Netflix is here to make it a little more tangible and give us something to look forward to after the hell-year that was 2019 with its list of new titles hitting the service in January. Unfortunately, that means we’re also saying goodbye to…

Google has released its annual report on the top searches of the year in many, many categories, and as always, it’s full of gems. If our collective internet sleuthing is any indication, Disney+ won the streaming wars for the year, coming in as the top search of 2019. It’s either that, or the confusion around the…

Surviving R. Kelly, the Lifetime docuseries that served to crystallize the decades of allegations, lawsuits, investigations, and reporting regarding R. Kelly’s long history of sexual misconduct with minors, is getting a sequel. Lifetime’s Part II: The Reckoning will air over three consecutive nights beginning on…

Even though we hardly need network TV to supply us with a regular dose of kids doing stupid shit and people injuring their genitals these days, America’s Funniest Home Videos—or AFV if you’re into early ‘00s branding—still proudly carries out its sacred duties undeterred. For three decades now, the show has functioned…

Marvel’s TV division has succumbed to the inevitable death forecasted by Kevin Feige’s promotion to Chief Creative Officer back in October. Honestly, we’re surprised it took this long for the television branch to formally kick the bucket. As reported by Variety, Marvel Television—which produced Netflix series like Jess…

Brad Pitt was nominated for an Oscar in 1995 for his livewire turn in Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys, a distinction he readily earned with the twitchy bundle of tics he weaves into the character’s paranoid ramblings. It’s those early, indelible scenes in a mental institution that you likely remember, and, in a new…

Over the past months, there’s been no shortage of discussion on the artistic and cultural merit of superhero movies and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in particular. Having watched fans (and MCU actors and execs) aggressively defend these enormously successful films’ good names against the negative opinions of com…

For more than half a decade now we’ve been doing 11 Questions, the A.V. Club feature in which we ask famous people a list of burning questions suggested by our readers, and it’s given us answers to everything from “Do you have a favorite swear word?” to “Who could you take in a fight?” So as we do every year at this…

Warning: Kimmy Kimmel and Watchmen’s Yahya Abdul-Mateen plowed right into serious spoiler territory on last Night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. (They did suggest viewers run for the can before launching into it, but, still.) While we here at the A.V. Club are a lot more careful about that sort of thing, stuff is going to be…

Quentin Tarantino maintains that he’s only going to make one more “official” movie, saying back in August that it would probably be a little “epilogue-y” and somehow acknowledge its status as his last movie, meaning the Star Trek movie he also keeps talking about wouldn’t necessarily “count” toward his canonical total…

Back in August, we learned that Disney—having just purchased Fox’s film assets—was planning to put together reboots of various Fox properties for the Disney+ streaming service. We didn’t know what that specifically meant, but we did know that it involved Home Alone, Night At The Museum, Diary Of Wimpy Kid, and Cheaper…
